Respect for the environment and ecological commitments
At Campsite, we are deeply committed to preserving the environment. Every action we take is aimed at reducing our ecological impact and promoting a sustainable and pleasant living environment for our campers.
Here are some of our green initiatives:
- Renewable energy: we have installed solar panels to generate part of our electricity, helping to reduce our carbon footprint.
- Waste management: compost buckets are provided in each accommodation to encourage the sorting of organic waste. We also provide each camper with yellow bags and instructions to make waste sorting easier and more efficient. A glass bin is available in the recycling area.
- Ecological gardening methods: we use mulch made partly from our pruning waste to protect and nourish our plantations. We have also opted for a burner to weed without the use of chemicals.
- Water management: our toilets, located in the reception Sanitary facilities, are supplied with water sparingly, as they are connected to our well. What’s more, the communal showers and washbasins are equipped with push-buttons to limit water consumption and avoid wastage.
- Energy optimization: presence detectors are installed for exterior lighting to avoid wasting energy, and timers are installed in communal sanitary facilities to limit excessive use of lighting.
- Commitment to responsible consumption: at our snack bar, meals are served by the plate in reusable crockery or takeaway in recyclable cardboard trays, to limit the use of plastic.
- Ecological cleaning products: accommodation and communal Sanitary facilities are cleaned using environmentally-friendly cleaning products.
We’re proud of these initiatives and continue to look for new ways to make our Campsite even more environmentally friendly. Together, we can contribute to a greener, more sustainable future, while taking full advantage of the natural beauty that surrounds us.
